PhD dissertations in the IAVS Bulletin, Réka Kiss

The Editors of the IAVS (International Association for Vegetation Science) have launched a new and interesting topic in the IAVS Bulletin entitled 'Recently defended theses in vegetation science'. Their aim is to introduce the research topics of young vegetation scientist all over the world who have recently defended their PhD. It is a pleasure that among others, the PhD topic of my former PhD student, Réka Kiss is introduced in the current Bulletin.
